How To Recover Data From A Crashed Hard Drive using PC Inspector

Hard disk crash is one of the most annoying problems and they come without warning. But the data is usually not wiped clean from the crashed hard drive; rather, the file allocation table—which contains filenames and points to data on the drive—is what usually gets damaged. It is therefore technically possible to recover data in such situations; you only need to know the tools of the trade. The tool we’re talking about is PC Inspector File Recovery, a freeware that can be downloaded from Pc Inspector.

If you’ve lost data on a partition on a drive other than C, just install the program in Windows. If your entire hard drive has crashed and you’re unable to boot, install the program on another computer and attach your hard drive as a secondary drive on that computer.

1. Launch The Program

Launch PC Inspector File Recovery, choose English as your language, and click on the green tick button. Choose what kind of data you wish to recover by clicking on one of the three buttons to the left. If you choose Lost Data, go directly to Step 6; if you choose lost drive, go directly to Step 8. If it is deleted data that you wish to recover, click on the icon at the top left.
